We’re sorry, UK ragers: It doesn’t look like Rage Against The Machine has any plans to return to next year’s Reading & Leeds festival. Since postponing their 2022 slot, fans have been wondering if they will make it back to their beloved country anytime soon. With this year’s festival just ending and 2024 plans well underway, the possibility is slim to none. In an interview with NME, Melvin Benn of Festival Republic shares with fans that it is highly unlikely that the band will return to the festival anytime soon. “It’s not an agenda item at the moment, let’s put… Read more »

The lyrics describe what every woman and non-binary person know all too well. The artists sing, “I’m sick of being stared when I’m alone/I’m sick of being scared on my walk home/I’m sick of being trapped by what you impose/You hear yes, when I say… Read more »

An accompanying music video for the track is also expected to drop on Friday, May 1.

“How long have you been 17?” As it turns out, Twilight—the film that defined a generation of teenage longing—has officially turned 17 itself. Released in 2008, Catherine Hardwicke’s adaptation of Stephenie Meyer’s brooding vampire romance captured a cultural moment of forbidden love, both on screen and through a soundtrack that further immersed the film in an alternative climate. But if Twilight were released today, what would it sound like? 17 years after the film’s original release, we’re reimagining an already iconic soundtrack to echo the emotional weight that spoke to a Team Edward or Team Jacob generation. Here are 17… Read more »
After debuting their latest single at Reading and Leeds last month, Waterparks has officially unleashed “IF LYRICS WERE CONFIDENTIAL.” “A lot of the songs on the next Waterparks album play with big, abstract concepts, and IF LYRICS WERE CONFIDENTIAL was one of those,” frontman Awsten Knight shares. “The premise is exactly what it sounds like – things I’d get into if I didn’t think anyone would ever hear the song, which in my opinion is the best way to write. It’s how you get yourself to talk about the most personal and uncomfortable things. The lyrics brush through a lot… Read more »
Waterparks offered exciting sets at this past weekend’s Reading and Leeds in the UK, and they even debuted their new song, “If Lyrics Were Confidential.” And lead singer Awsten Knight kicked off the new track, preceded by their BMG debut “Red Guitar,” with punchy and blunt lyrics. “I hate 50% of our fans/And the other half understands/And to the ones who don’t/Go cry and choke on both of my middle finger ringed up hands,” he sings. Knight even shares a verse about his mom saying, “Don’t forget my mom wakes up and reads half the crazy bullshit on her feed/She’s… Read more »
